Review summary

The ship was lovely - rooms were larger then I expected and very comfortable. Four people can sleep comfortably without stepping all over each other. The housekeeping staff - Frank and AJ especially on Carnival Victory (2nd floor) were exceptional. They were a joy to have around and kept the rooms very clean and we always had a towel animal surprise waiting for us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was exceptional and our waiter Enrique was a pure joy. The wait staff was impeccable - very attentive and met and exceeded all of our expectations. I highly recommend everyone try the chocolate dessert available on the classics menu - had it every night, a little piece of heaven is what it should be called...really.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The shows could have been better - only saw one show I liked. The comedy shows were also quite dull, entertainment could have been better overall.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
LOVED and I can't stress enough that I loved the staff and crew. Our bartender at the club, Klavs was exceptional. Quite liked Matt as well and the crew - Frank and AJ went above and beyond their duties every time. They work so hard and always have a smile on their face.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Only complaint: Hard to find Pacific Upper and Lower Dining Rooms - got lost almost every time.
